Where the hell is Bhutan you might ask? It's one of the last remaining kingdoms in the world. It is located between China and India near Nepal and Bangladesh. Called "one of the last Shangri-la's" it is nearly impossible to find much information about the country anywhere but from inside the country (a little ironic I know). Its been nearly three weeks in this gorgeous country and I wonder why more people don't know about it... Then I remember that there is only one airline that flies into Bhutan (their fleet consists of 2 planes), visas are difficult to get and extremely expensive ($200 per day for tourists), and it sits between two of the most populated countries in the world...
I came here to fulfill a dream of mine (to live and work in a different country) and to experience something new. Adjusting to life has been difficult, modern conveniences of home are almost non-existent here, save for a few TV's and the internet in certain areas. The new chapter in this life begins and I am ready to cook and eat my way through as much of Bhutan as possible and hopefully the rest of Asia in the future.
Food pictures and posts will follow soon. For now, landscape photos will have to suffice...
